@sarvi Is that the lego female scientist kit?!

@justsewit Sorry to hear that you are funeral sewing. It is a nice tribute to someone that you are making something to wear.

@nicole I can’t wait to see a teeny tiny bubble dress, it is the sweetest pattern.

I have finally started to try and sew again after the baby. I have mostly traced the…[Read more]

PS, where does packy for liquor store come from?

That college/university one is strange in the UK. I generally use college to refer to somewhere that delivers further rather than higher education. For example York College mainly teaches post 16 further education rather than higher education (degree or higher). That said, the college does teach one or two degrees…

Generally higher education…[Read more]

Do you see a ‘trash’ button, cybele? I dumped the one blank post for you. I think you just need to resize your image and re-upload, or else you can host it on flickr and link to that image.

I think like so? Sorry, didn’t have a sewing related pic in the first page of my flickr results and didn’t want to do the endless scroll thing. Max file…[Read more]

The school I went to is called a university, and within it are schools, grouped by discipline. So it’s the University of X, and has the Y Dental School, the Z Business School, etc. I think that’s common in the US, but don’t know if it’s standard. My Uk friends seem to have gone to Universities with colleges within them, but you can study for…[Read more]

Becky, is this your first?

If so, you will find yourself doing mad sewing until the wee hours saying… how clever this is! So ingenious!

And then when you try to make something from another pattern maker, you will be disgusted and find yourself digging out the instructions from this or that O+S pattern to show you how to do it better than…[Read more]

Hmmm. I can’t seem to get a link posted here. Apologies for the multiple postings.

Oh a funeral I am sorry.

We may be attending the furry baby’s own funeral soon. (Not really but, you all will understand and weep with me….)

So the jumprope dress I just completed. The one she’s only worn once. Yeah, this one…

University v college??

I think Americans go to “college” generally, even if it is a university, and Ukers go to uni because colleges are inside of universities, right? Like King’s College at Cambridge Uni.

Here in the US, colleges are smaller and will grant an advanced degree (M.A./M.S./M.B.A.) but not a terminal one. Universities are larger…[Read more]

Making costumes for free is such fun
But the moment that I have begun
I wish that I hadn’t
Because I’m a pedant
